There is a great variety in landscapes in Kyrgyzstan. High mountains with glaciers, alpine pastures, semi-desert, and lush river valleys, all are present. A great many Kaska Suu's, meaning "silver rivers" can be discovered in the mountains. You will find valleys with forests and naked, bare hills.
Due to these different landscapes, you will find a great diversity of plants and animals. There are about 400 plants that only occur in this area, like some special kind of tulips and crocuses. More than 300 species of birds, 30 kinds of reptiles and amphibians and over 10.000 different insects live here.
In the mountains live wild goats, ibex, and marco-polo sheep. About 60% of the snow-leopard population is living in Kyrgyzstan. The chance that you will see one is, however, extremely small. In the Tian-Shan you can also find brown bears and wolves. The most common mountain animal however is the marmot.
Kyrgyzstan - officially the Kyrgyz Republic - is an independent state with its own constitution since 31 August 1991. Now it is one of the democratic republics of Central Asia. The president - the head of the state – is directly elected by the people for a single 7-year term, and the parliament elected directly for a five-year term.
Over the centuries, many different peoples settled in Kyrgyzstan. Uzbeks, Dungans, Russians, Tatars, and others joined the Kyrgyz and brought their cultures, habits, and cooking traditions. Many traditions quickly spread over the country, but some remained characteristic only for certain groups.
Thus today, in Kyrgyzstan they have a great cultural potpourri. However, there is one tradition that all the ethnic groups have in common - for the guest, the best is just good enough.
At Ecotour Kyrgyzstan, they continue this tradition. In their yurts, they only serve fresh and ecologically grown food produced in the region. With love and care, the cooks prepare national dishes as well as the distinct food of the ethnic groups.
